Title: Rootkit infestation?
Post by: Tim_60 on September 05, 2019, 08:26:34 PM
I'm running Avast free version on Win 10 home. I ran a full scan a few days ago and it stalled at 28% (for about 8 hours) so I cancelled it and it reported over 940
detections, all rootkits.  I let Avast resolve it and it claimed to have fixed everything,  ran another full scan and it came back with the same amount of detections again, all rootkits again.  I then ran rootkit scanners from bitdefender, kapersky, trend micro, mcafee, emsisoft and malware bytes.  I ran RKill first to shut down any malicious processes before scanning.  NONE of these programs found anything.  I tried repairing Avast and ran another full scan and its still saying I have the rootkits.  I'm stumped now. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here are those log files.  The only thing Malwarebytes appears to have hit on is my Advanced System Care for some reason.

Do you have a log / screenshot of avast detection?

What was the location of detected files?

Attached is a screenshot of the detection,  I couldn't find a log file.  The location of the detections were C:\users\tim\desktop\desktop\  and then throughout that second desktop folder which has a lot of old files/programs in it.

In FRST logs I can't see active infection. Can you click on Detailed Report and post screenshot of it?

Yes I have it in the desktop folder, forgot it was there, although its never been detected on any previous scans.
